The Case of Missing Spoons

It's Monday cleaning day, and although I typically don't get it all done, I get a good majority of it done.  I look forward to sitting, crocheting and sipping hot tea later.  

It looks like I'll be needing boots to put my bedding out on the clothesline today.

Made another batch of homemade taco seasoning mix, and plan to make taco salads tonight.

Taco Seasoning Mix

1/4 cup dried onion flakes

4 tsp. cornstarch

2 Tbsp. salt

3 tsp. cumin

4 Tbsp. chili powder

1 1/2 tsp. oregano

3 tsp. dried minced garlic

3 tsp. crushed hot red pepper flakes

2 tsp. beef bouillon

Mix ingredients and store in airtight container.  

2 Tbsp. = 1 package

I do use whatever dried herbs I have from the herb gardens I grow, such as oregano.  Last year I attempted to grow cumin, but the heavy rains killed off my plants.  I will attempt it again this year.  Now that I have my dehydrator, I can dry my home grown onions and garlic too.

My bread crumbs are stored nicely in a canning jar.  I hope to dehydrate more today.

If no one in the house can find a spoon to eat breakfast this morning, it's because my 10 year-old put them under everyone's pillows last night.  Her school principal once told them that if they put ice cubes in the toilet and put a spoon under their pillow, that school would cancel.  It did cancel today.
